The Cost of Facebook?s Now-Repudiated Censorship Thu Jan 09, 2025 20:00 | Josh Stylman and Jeffrey Tucker
Mark Zuckerberg's repudiation of Covid-era censorship is welcome. But it's not enough, say Josh Stylman and Jeffrey Tucker. Without a public reckoning they will just do it all again when a cause seems urgent enough.

Labour?s War Against the Past Thu Jan 09, 2025 17:46 | Dr Nicholas Tate
Labour is engaged in an all-out assault on the past. From schools to immigration, inheritance tax to the House of Lords, this radical Left-wing Government is waging war on British culture, says Dr Nicholas Tate.

End Repression & Torture in the Basque Country

rights, freedoms and repression |
press release
 Monday February 09, 2009 16:09 by Chair - Irish Basque Solidarity Committees (Dublin Branch) dublinbasque at gmail dot com
No Time for Love in the Basque Country!
Calling all friends of human rights and lovers of freedom! In the last couple of years, three Basque political parties have been banned and two youth organisations. Two newpaper/ media services have been closed down. Many demonstrations have been banned and armed police roadblocks used to block access to them or to intimiditate people.
There are currently 765 Basque political prisoners scattered over French and Spanish territories and their sentences have been increased. Prominent political activists have been jailed or threatened with jail for their activities and for acting as intermediaries in truce or peace talks. Detainees are regularly tortured (one anti-torture organisation has collected 64 separate testimonies of torture for 2008).
The Basques continue to resist and to re-organise. For example, over 75,000 marched in January in support of the poltical prisoners. Currently a coalition of political and social activists seeking to put up a democratic platform for the elections (Democracy 3 Million), although it gained the thousands of signatures necessary, has had some of its leading organisers arrested and is being threatened with disbarring from elections. Thousands marched against the environmental damage of the planned High-Speed Train (AHT) and were attacked by police with scores of plastic bullets.
As part of International Solidarity with the Basque Country Week, the Dublin Branch of the Irish Basque Solidarity Committees is organising the following events:
a speaker from the Basque Country will be speaking at a number of meetings in Dublin on Friday 13th and
there will be solidarity actions on Saturday 14th. Support as many of these as you can.
The speaker is representing Kamaradak, which is a Basque youth pro-independence left movement with an emphasis on internationalist solidarity.

Jump To Comment: 1A laudable initiative.
But could we also spare a thought for the journalists and elected representives in recent years who have been killed or maimed by ETA?
The number of victims of ETA in the last two decades is considerably higher than the number of people killed by the Spanish state.
Sadly, despite their honourable orgins as freedom fighters against Franco's repression, ETA is now the true face of fascism in the Basque country.
